Hydrogen cars might be dangerous…duh

Surprisingly the federal government has begun to study the safety issues involved with hydrogen vehicles far in
advance of their becoming an everyday realty. We applaud the government's efforts since almost anyone could figure out
driving around on a hydrogen gas tank may be dangerous. But at least they're also looking at how the gas would be
delivered which is a major obstacle to a feasible hydrogen car economy. As I understand it, it still takes fossil
fuels to create hydrogen. That doesn't seem too alternative to me. If we already have clean cars now, hybrids popping
up like bunnies and innovations like multi-displacement systems, hydrogen almost seems less sensible. Safety is just
one factor that will make a switch to hydrogen cars unlikely anytime soon.
